Deport them where? You're just going to dump them on someone else's shores for them to become undocumented immigrants to be shipped back to America? I know we've set up camps in other countries but there's several orders of magnitude of difference there. The logistics alone of moving a third of the US is insane and that's if they wanted to participate. Of course they don't have any long term plans

I'm a first generation American citizen and I would love to be deported to the Netherlands or Germany if the US and the EU an come to an agreement.

The logistics are impossible, the only thing you'd achieve is triggering a second American revolution.

They're going for a second Holocaust.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 0 points 4 weeks ago

The Holocaust was nowhere near 100 million people...

The Nazis ran into some problems and had to close shop early.

“I’m going to say something that’s going to make some people uncomfortable: The problem is, we call it Sharia [law], but the problem is actually Islam,” French said. “If they can infiltrate Texas and conquer Texas, then what’s going to happen? They’re going to be able to control the United States.”

Apparently he didn't get the memo that the fastest growing religion in the US is "no religion". This is also true for the 2nd generation of immigrants.

While American Muslims have higher retention rates, their kids are also becoming atheist (in the US) at a rapid pace.

In short, he's got nothing to worry about! What's going to happen? Easy: Religion will become a smaller and smaller factor over time no matter who we "let in" 😁👍

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah but he's actually just worried about brown people existing.

Hard to take seriously, coming from Frank the Tank

If pedophiles where forcefully removed from society, that would eliminate half of the white population in the US.

Scary, right?

What?

[-] devolution@lemmy.world -2 points 4 weeks ago

Exactly.

[-] Arcadeep@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

Wow. I don't think I could find a stupider take if I tried. You're almost right, but totally lost it. It would certainly eliminate at least half of the insanely wealthy population

[-] devolution@lemmy.world -1 points 4 weeks ago

And the poorest. And the middle class. And pastors. And teachers. And especially cops. And I'm not simply talking about men here. Yeah... sounds about white.

Now you liberal or leftist whites, I'm not talking about you.
